Finally got some dyno numbers...might suprised a few people

Well when asking for the cam my requests were;
easily daily driven
big, but not too big for stock heads
beats the ground
and i dont really care how much power it makes

Advanced Inductions provided me with a 224/234 .563/.577 on a 110 LSA. I love this cam, met all of my requests by far. After a few valve train issues (needed all new springs and rocker arms), ran a 8.31 in the 1/8th mile at like 84mph with these issues, and a few other mishaps i finally got a great valve train (comp 1.6rr's with 918's) and a good dyno tune, thanks to jeff at carolina auto masters, only problem i have now is an opti (which is extremely evident) None-the-less i am extremely pleased with my numbers, i was only expecting around 330rwhp so you can imagine how i feel with these numbers even with the bad opti. Some may call BS and some may say happy dyno but i dont care, i might be one of you guys if i wasnt there for myself and seen the numbers this dyno puts out. I've never heard of people complaining about jeff's dyno being happy so again i was ony aiming for about 330. Any ways here is the graph, gotta love the miss up top. Not bad for a little cam only LT1 huh?

Nice numbers! You've got me beat.

A miss up top like that is often indicative of ignition issues. New plugs and wires are relatively cheap and have the potential to fix that, and a good thing to do anyway.

If they don't fix it, you probably need an opti.

Yea, i mention in the post that i need an opti bad, plugs and wires are good. All bolt-ons minus a good opti and an underdrive pulley. 6 Speed Stock untouched heads, stock bottom end (rebuilt), ported intake manifold, 10 bolt, steel driveshaft, and the TT2's.

I would be damn happy with those numbers. I guess that is what you get when you work with good companies/people that work well together.

Looking good.

Get another pull done after you swap out that opti. I'd like to see the results,then.

Yea, i love it, really hits pretty hard. Its from Advanced Induction and it is about $250-$300 i believe, there prices may have changed. I need an idle video so i'll try and get one soon

Nice #s

I just rebuilt an LT1 for a good friend with a similar combo, I hope it makes #'s like that.

I used a rebuilt stock bottom end, a Joe O 226/234, .568/.568 110 lsa cam, impala head gaskets, and milled but otherwise stock 561 castings. The car has all the other bolt-ons ( LT's, EWP, CAI, etc, etc...)
I told him that this combo would likely be good for 340ish rwhp....looks like I may have underestimated it

Thanks for sharing

Impressive #'s for a mild cam and a huge miss uptop.

It was bought used from a board member, I don't think that Joe O is grinding cams for the general public any more, so I have no idea how much it was brand new My best guess would be around $300 to $350ish.

I don't have and video's of it, but I'll ask the owner if he does

I can tell you that it sounded somewhat similar to my LE3.2 cam (23x/23x, 10x lsa) when I heard it with open headers

Wow those are some good number. I am getting my rotating assembly and ?maybe? my head and cam kit from them when I'm ready. They are really nice guys and gave me a lot of useful info when it came to getting my block ready.
